Alternative Pastime

Post by Maxine Silkstone »

As it was my duel that appears to be the last game before the whole thing died. (probably some sand got in the works, or the camel trod on something vital) I think I shall start some alternative entertainment...

For the record I've been having a very good day, in the sun away from the Internet. But Ben texted me to say Apterous was down so I cycled across town to fix it. It was worth it if only to prevent any further "output" from Douglas Wilson.

BEN! Leave the man to enjoy the few hours of English sunshine there may be this year!
But then again, if left Apterousless, who knows what levels of depravity could be reached, hell hath no fury like the addict deprived of his fix.

I may be mistaken but if memory of an earlier viewing serves me correctly, I think Marc originally answered the 'YAFG' himself, and then realised you'd beaten him to it, and then took the odd move of changing his post to smilies. I might be wrong.

Glad my observational skills are still on point. You should have left your answer to YAFG and just removed the 'new letters' bit. You can see how easily threads become hard to navigate when people edit posts retrospectively!
